London

As if one international destination wasn't enough, we went for a second!  After spending two days in Dublin, we took a short hopper over to London (May 11-13th).  Both you and Ben seemed to like London more.  First, right after getting off the plane, you were fascinated with the super large cab and the ability to sit rows of people facing each other.  WIN! 

Your next love of London was our hotel room.  I know... hysterical.  Two things you loved - the super big tub and the double doors to the bathroom.  You would play for hours, pretending it was an elevator.  The last favorite of the hotel was the exec lounge.  I really enjoyed the view of Big Ben but not you... you loved their hard candy shaped like fruits. Funny, right?!   We took a ton of pictures and visited a lot of places in two days!

Dublin

Dublin, Ohio?  No way!  We are going to Dublin, Ireland! I can't believe you are making your first international trip at age 3.  Last year, Baba and I went and got passports for the both of you just in case.  Well it sure has come in handy :)  Mama had a work trip and Baba has always wanted to visit Ireland so we decided to check it out.  And, since we love you guys sooo much, it became a family trip!  I went first for work and then you and Ben flew out with Baba... a very brave Baba.  You were great on the flight and really enjoyed the fun parts of the trip (bus rides, airplane rides, parks and bangers & mash).  For two full days, you sure saw a ton!!
